Meet Our Team

Our mission is to facilitate, educate and inspire others to arise to their fullest expression of health and well being through chiropractic care and massage therapy. At our center, we work to restore balance, movement, and function to the body, as nature intended. We provide people of all ages and all levels of health with the care and education necessary to naturally prevent illness, and actively achieve and maintain optimal health.

The word Arise is an inspiring action word that often creates images of movement and reawakening. Arise has many connotations that go hand in hand with the philosophy and practice of chiropractic and other forms of complementary medicine. The goal of this paradigm of health care is to renew and awaken the innate healing ability of the human body. As an individual receives care that supports the functioning of the body, that individual’s true potential for health and well-being comes into existence, emerges, surfaces. As a result, he or she is literally able to ARISE, and is better prepared to enjoy life!

Dr. Lisa Hinkle began her chiropractic career in Frederick, Maryland in 2006. She was born and raised in Silver Spring, Maryland.

In 2002, She graduated Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Maryland Baltimore County with a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and completion of all pre-medical coursework in preparation for professional school. In March 2006, Dr. Hinkle graduated summa cum laude from New York Chiropractic College with her Doctor of Chiropractic degree. She had the unique opportunity to complete her clinical experience at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. In addition to treating active duty military personnel in the chiropractic clinic, she also rotated through various hospital departments including musculoskeletal and neurological radiology, orthopaedics, neurology, and physical medicine and rehabilitation.

In February 2007, Dr. Hinkle opened Arise Chiropractic Wellness Center as the sole business owner. In addition to spinal adjusting, Dr. Hinkle is trained in Myofascial Release Technique and Craniosacral Therapy.
